Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Brian's Pennsylvania Greenhouse and Tropical Fruit Trees
« Last post by drymifolia on April 22, 2024, 08:52:43 PM »Maybe if my feijoa grafts from Marta take, they are supposed to be viney, I read.
Mine are more bushy than viney. I don't think it would be feasible to train them along a frame like that, but maybe with enough aggressive pruning you could try something espalier-like.
Some other ideas.... maybe you could try to train dragonfruit along the frame? Or fuzzy kiwi? Or... vanilla?

Kaz, I have eaten a few passion fruits and while the flavor is excellent I can't get over the goey mucous texture and seeds. It is a shame because the greenhouse frame makes a great trellis for vines. I had a Inca Peanut vine for a while and it got huge before I ripped it out. Maybe if my feijoa grafts from Marta take, they are supposed to be viney, I read.
Jaboticaba45, I am really jealous of your success with Lychees. Gives me hope that if I try different soils or distilled water I might have better luck. I am trying some rambutans in pure compost now as W. suggested

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Anyone successfully fruit Jackfruit in SoCal?
« Last post by SanDiegoCherimoya on April 22, 2024, 07:29:57 PM »Reviving a super old post here. I've known of only one jackfruit tree that can produce ripe edible fruit. The problem is that most trees set fruit but do not get enough heat hours to ripen the fruit. Does anyone know of early flowering jackfruit varieties that could perform better in SoCal?

Always exciting to see what's going on at other zone pusher's places.
Funny how we differ in trees that work out for us! Just some small differences that effect what grows and doesn't lol.
Marang is looking great!

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: My citrus collection [EU - Antwerp]
« Last post by Peep on April 22, 2024, 06:39:55 PM »My Pomelo Enzo is by far the plant that has grown the most in this short bit of spring we've had so far. Moved it from a 25cm pot to 30cm a week ago:
Did the same with my Yuzumelo (Yuzu x Citrumelo):
The Pomelo Enzo has lots of flower buds, but it's mostly on the Yuzumelo that I hope to grow a fruit. The Yuzumelo has only two large flowers and a third small flower bud on new growth as well.
So far, my Sudachi, Hana Yuzu, Trifeola and Furrowed Bitter Orange also have flower buds.
